Vyacheslav Karavaev: "We are going into the game with a positive mindset"

The Zenit and Russia full back on the upcoming game with Rostov.
Congratulations on making your debut for Russia and the win, how was it for you?

Thank you! Of course, it was good and we won. We completed our mission, but we are not finished yet. There are more matches waiting for us and we want to get the three points in each game.

Is it difficult to move from international to club football?

No, on the contrary, it’s good that we are going into the game with a positive mindset.

What are your thoughts on the RPL? How is it different from Dutch football?

All leagues are different. At first, it was difficult to move to a new club and it does take some time to adapt, but now everything is fine.

Rostov score a lot and have the league's top scorer in Eldor Shomurodov. How will you prepare for the game against them?

This is a question for the head coach. He will tell us how to play correctly and we are determined to win.

You can play on the right or the left of defence, are there any other positions you can play?

I can play in any position if the coach says I should. Where I'm needed, I’ll play there.
